Transportation

Working together to achieve integrated, sustainable transportation solutions

In his opening address at the first UN Global Sustainable Transport Conference in 2016, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that the answer to the world's transportation issues was not to decrease transportation, but to find ways to make it more sustainable. He also stressed the need to work together through partnerships to develop transportation solutions that improved human well-being, enhanced social progress and protected the planet.

At GHD, we subscribe to this philosophy and work together with our clients to:

Understand the issues facing industry, business and communities

Connect the opportunities with the latest technologies and knowledge

Deliver innovative solutions

Understanding, connecting, delivering

The issues influencing transportation sustainability today and in the future - for industry, business and communities - involve a complex array of factors. We understand these issues and their impacts, and, through our globally connected network of professionals, work with clients to deliver solutions appropriate for every project, business, location, and desired social, economic and environmental outcomes.

Active Transportation

Improving the operation of transportation services to increase cost effectiveness and safety and decrease pollution, are some of the priorities for owners and operators around the world. Our teams offer solutions that achieve cost reductions, improved service level operation, decreases in accident frequency and severity and improved air quality.

Increasingly, clients require consultants who can provide bridge designs that address functional requirements, represent value-for-money, and are constructible, while responding to the needs of the environment and community. From simple, single span structures through to major landmark bridges, we present clients with a variety of cost-effective bridging solutions.

Some of the busiest cities in the world have large ports and major coastal infrastructure, and therefore, are at the greatest risk of catastrophe. Being able to forecast accurate market conditions, grow sustainably, operate efficiently, invest in commercially sound practices, and build robust infrastructure, while also engaging local communities, are ways in which we support organizations operating in this sector.

Economic growth, aging infrastructure, rising congestion and underfunding are putting pressure on existing land transportation networks. These challenges are compelling road-controlling agencies, governments, councils and municipalities to reconsider strategy and adopt a whole-of-life approach. At GHD, we assist clients to plan, design, construct, maintain and manage all aspects of the road corridor life cycle, based on our experience of delivering innovative road systems and value engineering studies for roadway projects throughout North America.

Roundabouts

Well-designed roundabouts improve capacity, safety, and offer other benefits such as aesthetics and air quality when compared to traditional intersection solutions. Designing a roundabout is different from designing a signalized intersection. Our designers are well versed in roundabout design intricacies and have extensive experience in the design and implementation of roundabout facilities, enabling the best outcomes for our clients.

Overall, the [new aircraft stands] project was completed on time and on budget. It also delivered an innovative solution that will be used on other projects across the airport. This has been a great model in project management and design that the Auckland Airport will use again.
